What to say and what not to say

This post is in no way a shoot at anyone or made out of anger. It simply is to inform people about what comments are irritating and what is helpful. This only pertains to anyone that has had no trouble having children or who have not tried yet. If you are on of the unfortunate few who face the same problems I do then you are more then welcome to say whatever you want.

What not to say I know it's hard but... The thing is you don't know so you can't say that. I know how you feel... Again something you don't really know. It will happen I know it... There is no grantee in life that I will have a child so you can't say that. Be patient... You be patient after two and a half years. We weren't really trying to get pregnant it just happened... While I am happy for you and would never wish my problems on you I dont need to be reminded about how fertile you are.

What to say I love you. I support you. I am here for you. I heard about this treatment... I am not an expert and I welcome any suggestions. I'm pregnant... People are afraid to tell me they are pregnant and it maybe because I come off as bitter but I promise I would rather hear from you then through a friend or Facebook. I may be sad for myself but I will be happy for you.

Every woman out there with fertility issues may not feel the same way I do. To be honest I personally only know one other person that is having fertility issues. I do not speak for everyone I only speak for me.

Time flies...

The last few months have flown by! The last time I blogged we were still in school, Jason had just finished up with basketball and my medicine was making me crazy. The end of school and the start of summer was so busy for both of us. It started with Jason's school's baseball team winning the State championship. It was really excited to travel and see all of their games. The excitement in the players eyes and the pride they had is why I became a teacher. We went to Nashville at the end of June for my students to compete at TSA nationals. We had a successful and fun trip. One of my students placed 8th in her event. It was a fun last hurrah with my seniors but I sure am going to miss them. The last time I blogged we still had not found the right dosage of Ned's to make we ovulate. Well right after that we did. I now take 200 mg of Clomid. Amazingly I have no side effects and I ovulate. This month is our third month in the correct dose. It will also be our last month with this form of treatment. If the clomid does not work this month we will be moving on to the next course of treatment. We still are not sure what that will be but I will keep everyone updated. Thanks for the continued thoughts and prayers.
